London is the most populous region, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, standing on the River Thames. Its History is very rich and goes back to its founding by the Romans. A Reddit User Shystone has recently made his contribution to the beauty of London streets in an epic way. He has accomplished the amazing task of taking beautiful historical paintings of London and placing them against the modern day scenery of the city.

This project bring together the classic and modern, in a very fascinating way. London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, which has been justified by these captures. We bring to you today, some of those amazing captures here:

A 1749 Canaletto painting of Westminster Abbey

This one above was built in 1834, The Westminster Palace is the home of House of Common and House of Lords.

This one above is of a pub with 36 years in between and its surprising to see how little has changed in terms of the Landscape.

Greenwich still the same- except for few of the sail boats.

This huge Townhouse which existed on the south end of Trafalgar square was completely demolished to make way for a new road by the Government.

The Pleasure Gardens in Vauxhall were a big deal in the 1600s.

After seeing all these pictures that are truly adding to the beauty of London we believe Reddit user Shystone should be commended for his incredible work and effort.
